How are you? Hope all is well. I was talking with a friend on Monday morning about the keys to success in business. We got on the discussion of several topics, two of them I'm going to discuss in this email.
I also made a quick video about it:

The first thing I want to discuss is PASSION.
According to the Small Business Association, if you start a business today, you have only about a 44% chance of being here two years from now.
When you are CHOOSING to start a business, you'll acheive great success (and satisfaction) if you LOVE what you do.
Consider David Kinch. Kinch is the owner and chef behind the Los Gatos, Calif., restaurant Manresa, one of the top 50 restaurants in the world according to Restaurant Magazine.
In a recent interview with the San Jose Mercury News, Kinch recalled how he started working in a New Orleans restaurant at the age of 15.
"From the first day, I knew I loved it and I didn't ever want to leave it," Kinch was quoted as saying.
What about you? What passion are you bringing to the table?
Could you use a shot to the arm (or toosh for that matter) ...a little more pep in your step?
Passion is what drives you.
Passion is what keeps you going on the tough days.
(WARNING WARNING, there ARE tough days ahead)
Passion is what keeps you from quitting.
Passion is what makes your prospect say "Yes" even if they don't understand.
Passion is infectious.
We could all use a little more passion in what we do.
And you HATE what you do. Stop doing it.
I repeat, STOP DOING WHAT YOU HATE.
My husband's friend John told me (after hearing me say that) ..."Oh Rachel, that's easier said than done."
Really?
"John, you hate what you do. What would you LOVE to do?"
He answered, going on a rabbit trail of owning his OWN business in real estate inspections.
He lit up. Like a FIRECRACKER. Get someone PASSIONATE about what they WANT - and if they don't have it - they WILL make a change to get to their desired end result.
...Secondly, I want to talk about EXCELLENCE.
Look around you. Is it just me or do you see a lack of excellence in our society today?
This is why my husband and I love the Olympic Games so much.
It's EXCELLENCE in MOTION.
My friend Kim-Marie the CEO of www.Letip.com - a premier educational networking organization says its "Performing above and beyond normal expectations" (while adhering to the highest standards)
Here are some additional quotes on Excellence, that serve it well:
"Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well."
– John W. Gardner
"Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."
– Aristotle
